Hi, i really appreciate the 10 week mass program , i would like ti know what Will bè the next program After that ??? Thank you
I would like to ask for your personal advice regarding “ 6 Day Weight/Cardio Cutting Workout” listed on www.muscleandstrength.com
For a general overview of my body history:
I had been obese in 2011; my body weight was 129 kg & height 184 cm. Four years later, I became 87 kg due to long lasting diet. I still have extra pounds, located on my belly and love handles.
Am looking forward to lose the extra pounds and gain a well leaned body because also I don’t have many muscles in body: thin biceps and bit stocky chest.
Therefore I found your program interesting, so I would like to know if your recommend following its instruction or get enrolled with other cardio oriented programs.
I notice in most of all the chest building work outs I did not see any decline chest sets. Are they important to any chest work outs?? I really have not seen any benefits of these, Please reply.
Thank you so much.
I'm 5'7''and 158. I havent had much workout experience before. What would be the best plan to get ripped in 2 months Obviously i cant get good results in just 2 months but what would be the best plan to do to get the maximum possible results in just 2 months.

hey ,i want to gain weight so i need to take gainer ,cretine and mutivitamins while doing these work out or natural diet is sufficient ?
Up until my recent work related injury I trained at a Thai boxing gym. We use some dumb bells but mostly focus on pads, heavy bags, speed bags, HIIT endurance type training. Having broke my ankle requiring metal plates and screws, I would be optimistic to say it will be a few months before I can get back in the ring. I can put 0 weight on my left foot, but i can bend my knee. I also just got a gym membership in the hopes of maintaining my upper body and whatever else I can. Any insight on the best and safest exercises someone with a broken ankle could do?
Hi! I've been following the 10 week mass building for about 1 mth been at the gym almost 3 mths lost 16lb

Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a tight spot right now. I'm a Track/Cross Country runner in high school. This is my senior year and I've been training for nine months straight to go out with a boom this season. Well the downside is that I've been having foot and ankle pains for a little over a month. I've recently learned that the pain is from tendonitis and my doctor mandated that I sit out for a whole month, and the Track season has already started. I've accepted that, but I need help with a new temporary workout plan for my legs and lower back. I want to be able to come back and still be strong enough to catch back up in my training. I'm having troubles finding any leg workouts that I can do without putting any weight or strain on my ankle other than leg extensions and leg curls. If you could please help me I would greatly appreciate it. And thank you for your time.
Best Regards,
Trent
thank you for your response,the last two weeks i've been using the 10 week mass building program.
im now at 240lb i've lost 12lb in 5 weeks.
My question to you, should i keep this workout or should i go to the cutting routines as you suggested me. Just want to make sure i choose the right program.There so many to choose from just picking the right one is difficult .
Here's my workout routine....treadmill for 35-40min i burn 350-400cal its set at 3.8speed... mon,tue workout with cardio, wed/ just cardio 35-40min... and thurs/frid treadmill and workout...sat off/ sun cardio and i weight myself.
Is this good ,or is it to much.
The way i figure, if stallone at 65 can do it im sure i can!!!
i've been at the gym for a month now its been 9 years since i worked out.
im 5'8 243lb and im 50 years old... a month ago my weight was 252lb.lost 9lb
I was an atlee many years ago was in the junior olympics and when i turn 15 started bodybuilding for 4 years and then i stopped and got in to a lot a bad habids.Ever since then i've been roller coasting my workouts since.Now i've decided to take this more serious and start training again. .
i seen your workout ,would it be to early to start your program
My goal is to bring my weight down and ad muscle mass and to keep this time.
Need a little help
I recommend taking a look at some of the cutting routines available on the site: https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/fat-loss
Focus on getting to your goal weight/body fat percentage. You can add some quality muscle mass without upping your body fat too much if you start with a leaner frame.

and for the 10 week mass building program, can i make a superset routine out of that
for tge 10 week mass building program, can this workout be split in other ways so i can get two days of rest during the week and workout a day on the weekend or will the workout not be as effective that way
and can i drop some body fat with this routine also
Hi , i have been training and changing workouts for almost 4 months but i haven't seen any results but my lifting weights just increased but no visual gains , i was hoping you could give me a workout plan but i'd prefer not to include deadlifts or squats or wide grip pull ups
I'd need to know a little more about what your goals are before I can recommend a specific program (i.e. build mass, cut weight). Your diet plays a huge role in the results you see as well, and I can be a bit more specific after learning your goals. Also, it's a good idea to stick with one routine as opposed to constantly switching between routines, especially if your form needs work. Proper form is as important as the weight you use in my opinion.
Deadlifts, squats, and wide-grip pull-ups are typically at the core of any solid routine. They are fantastic movements in terms of increasing overall strength, and are particularly effective when it comes to building mass. I'd recommend that you keep them in a routine if possible.
Hi
Im looking to bulk up . Ive been traning for a few years now
And im ripped bud just whant some more muscel i weigh 70kg and 6ft high

You could take a look at this routine: https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/4-day-maximum-mass-workout
There are some burn sets and static work, which you'll certainly feel. Remember to eat BIG! You'll need a calorie surplus to build muscle.
